- Fireworks Light the Night Skies, Despite Governor’s Ordinance
Several pyrotechnic displays painted the city skyline in red, white and blue last night, bright explosions visible over the eastern harbor and Crow’s Head Beach. An explosion also lit the sky in the shape of a bat over the Sector 5 fairgrounds, shortly after siren.
This flagrant disregard for the city’s after-siren fireworks ban, passed just last week in anticipation of Canada Day Weekend accidents and riled-up darkness monster activity, was cheered on by many locals, who called the governor’s last minute cancellations “a deliberate holiday killjoy.”
Governor Townshed, furious to see such a dramatic flouting of his rules from the window of his Sector 3 Condo, personally phoned Chief Miller and ordered all available police stations and firehouses to investigate the source of the fireworks, arrest and fine the miscreants who dared to set them off. Along the way, one of the SPFD hook and ladder trucks was attacked by a gang of Sharp Fisted Apes, stalling their arrival, and another was crushed by a large mutation colloquially known as a ‘Fat Bastard’ near the fairgrounds.
Officials later determined that the dockside fireworks were send up from a floating platform not far from SERO’s shipping pier, with several young masked figures caught on camera exiting the docks and vanishing into the industrial sector around 9:45 pm. Townshed plans to fine SERO Shipping Industries, who are blaming the fireworks on AGI saboteurs. Other flashbangs and jets of flame sighted over Crow’s Head Beach are being blamed on partying Newcomers, who swarmed the popular sunbathing spot yesterday afternoon.
Proud American billionaire and Portside sports teams owner William Herms, however, praised the brassy July 4th fireworks when he called in live on-the-air on the popular midnight hour sports talk radio show, claiming the displays were a pleasant surprise.
“Atta boys! Don’t let the Canucks take all the fun out of it!”
Townshed has called for an immediate investigation of Herms, suspecting he financed the job, possibly with the help of newcomers, since “it seems like over half of them are always calling City Hall, nagging my staff and demanding a direct line to the US Embassies.’’
